Mid-class- Go to gym
Poor(me)- save your food stamps nd stop eating for a week. It works! I was sick for 8 days and lost 15 pounds! try it with 10 days and lose 20 lbs.
You may not get up to 20lbs, but you can start. You can start with walking/jogging each day or every other day. Jumping rope burns a lot of calories. You could also go out and play some sports and swim laps.
Also if you cut out all sugar (mind there will be cravings with withdrawl) and you lower your carb intake it will help greatly. Eat smaller portions as well as just healthier instead of junk food.
I am currently trying to lose 20lbs as well.
Cut back on all things white (white bread, rice, etc.), cut back all sweets, don't eat after 7pm, eat 5 small meals instead of 3 large meals daily, and drink at least 8 glasses of water (no sodas, no juice, etc.) Exercise early in the morning, so your metabolism starts flowing much faster earlier in the day. Running is one of the best ways to loose weight fast. Good Luck! It is too late to try to lose 20. Try 5. Then do 5 again for the rest of the school year.
I know you don't want to hear it, but diet and exercise. Walk at least 30 minutes a day or do some other activity that gets your heart rate up. 30 minutes every day is good, 45 minutes to an hour is better. Eat only healthy foods. Avoid junk foods like chips and candy, and for goodness sake, don't eat or drink sugar! Stay far away from sodas and farther away from diet sodas. Sugar and artificial sweeteners are poison and will sabotage your diet in no time flat. Do some muscle training like lifting weights or yoga or Pilates, too. Having muscle will help you burn fat, even in your sleep. Don't be obsessed with weight, but concentrate on size/inches instead because as you gain muscle, you will gain weight. If you lose 10 pounds of fat and gain 12 pounds of muscle, you will be so hot, but the number on the scale will say you've increased. Don't be afraid of that. Keep working hard now, through the rest of the summer, and throughout the school year to acheive your weight loss goals. Start now. If you work through the rest of the summer with good diet and exercise and drinking lots and lots of water, you will be better in gym class than before even if you aren't 20 pounds lighter yet. You will be well on your way. Good luck and don't eat garbage!
The best way that works for me is portion control. For breakfast, have a toasted English muffin with PB and a piece of fruit. Lunch, sometimes a SlimFast shake if I'm on the run.or a salad. Dinner whatever mom's cooking but try to have a salad with dinner and watch the size of your portion. Drink lots of water throughout the day. And honestly, if you can bring yourself to get up in the morning and do some exercise, either a fitness video, or an early morning fitness program on TV, you will be more likely to "be good" throughout the day. Go easy on yourself if you "cheat".just remember portion control. Have one.not a whole row of brownies!! Hope this helps. You're young, so it'll be easy to drop a few pounds before school starts. But DON'T starve yourself. Drink LOTS of water.before every meal and in-between. Eat smaller portions and watch what you eat. If you don't want to exercise, then just do something to move around. You'll lose the weight without even noticing it. You can do it, just don't give up.
Hun, ya can't. and you are not nearly overweight. You need to give yourself more credit. The only way you can lose weight and be healthy as a 14yr old is to excercise and eat healthy. Do not put a time line on it, cause it just makes it that much more difficult.
Ummm, go to any doctor, and your weight should be fine according to their standards. But, if you want to get leaner, here are some healthy ideas.
- Don't eat junk food. That's all the diet advice I have. Eat as much as you want, just less candy and fast food.
- Drinking a lot of water is also a good idea.
- Find an athletic activity you like to do and do it. Whether it's jogging, swimming, biking, pilates, doesn't matter. Swimming is my favorite, actually I started swimming competitively when I was about your age, so it's not too late.
Don't worry about losing 20 pounds when you are 14, just worry about being healthy and comfortable with the skin you are in. If you stress out about your weight, you'll probably gain more out of stress.
Sorry honey, can't do it safely, you're asking to loose one pound a day, here's the thing, to loose one pount you need to burn 3500 calories, you already burn on average, around 1300 calories a day just for living(depending on your activities) which means you'd need to loose the extra 2200 calories by exercise and not eat anything but water for 20 days.. suppose you didn't eat anything during those 20 days, do you really think you can exersice at that level for 20 straight days, when most likely you don't exercise at all? and by exercising I don't mean just walking, if you were to just jog, you'd need to run for about 3 straight hours at about 6.5 miles per hour, meaning you'd need to jog about 20 miles each day, everyday, and not eat anything. Like I said, cannot be done! Sorry Baby sorry but its true diet and exercise!!your still growing so you'll grow an inch or 2 or 3 but u have to cut back on your food intake. If you stop drinking soda and dont eat junk food or fast food you can lose weight. If u like sports then play some sports, go to the mall with friends (walk around) do what ever u like as long as your moving!!
Stretch out the fist two weeks of the Atkin Diet. Tough but you can still eat enough not to be hungry and the weight DOES come off.
this is how i lost twenty pounds in about a month:
go to caloriesperhour.com-- learn about weightloss from there, and they also have an activity calculator and list the caloric content of like everykind of food.
eat 900 calories a day:
breakfast: 180 calories (yogurt, oatmeal or something else you like)
lunch: 240 calories ( go to a supermarket and by lean cuisines, Smartones, and frozen diet meals like that)
dinner: 300 calories (again with the frozen diet meals- they are pretty tasty, and very easy)
snack/desert: as many times a day as you want, as long as you dont exceed 180 calories ( things like pretzels, fruit- watch the calories though!)
drink: water mostly but also diet drinks, and low-calorie beverages like crystal lite-- but calories DO COUNT!!
EXCERSISE:
you must stick with this program- believe me you will get discouraged at times but its not very hard, and will make you pro at PE. this is fast track too, stay motivated, like think about how you want to look while you run, or do some mindless counting to pass the time
set aside 30 minutes a day, you can run around your block or run laps in a park, or even run on a treadmill or in place in your home
1st week:
1,2,3 day: for 30 minutes a run/walk combination:
run 2 minutes walk 4 minutes 5 times for a total of 30 minutes
4,5,6 day:
run 3 minutes walk 3 minutes 5 times
7 day:
run 4 minutes walk 2 minutes 5 times
2nd week:
1,2,3 day: run 5 minute walk 2 minutes 4 times, then run two minutes
4,5,6 day: run 6 minutes walk 3 minutes 3 times, then run three minutes
7 day: run 7 minutes walk 3 minutes 3 times
3rd week:
1,2,3 day: run 8 minutes walk 2 minutes 3 times
4,5,6 day: run 9 minutes walk one minute 3 times
7 day: run 14 minutes walk 1 minute 2 times ( if this is two hard run 14 minutes walk one minute run 9 minutes walk one minute 2 times)
4th week:
1,2: run 14 minutes walk 1 minute 2 times
day 3: run 30 minutes
from then on run 30 minutes after school, or join a sports team at your school if possible
and yes i realize that this cuts into your school time, but its kind of ridculous to lose weight like that in like 2 and a half weeks.
I hope this is specific enough, i know when i wanted to lose weight i wanted people to be very specific. you might want to try diet pills, but that is a short cut, and all US diet pills DO NOT work! only ephedra works, but it is dangerous. you minght want to weight train every other day also so you can develop muscle tone, look in a magazine or online for a weightlifting plan.
this will all only work if your commited to losing weight, my best wishes to you!
Healthy weight loss tips
* Take one pound at a time
Don’t get overwhelmed by how much weight you need to lose. Try to remember that "losing 15 pounds in two weeks" is nothing to celebrate. It is important to realize that the more quickly weight is lost, the more likely the loss is coming from water and muscle, not fat.
Since muscle tissue is critical in keeping our metabolism elevated, losing it actually leads to a decrease in the amount of calories we can each day without gaining weight.
Fat loss is best achieved when weight is lost slowly. Strive for a weight loss of no more than 3-4 pounds per week. One pound of weight is equivalent to 3500 calories.
* Set Reachable Goals
For instance, if you know you need to get more exercise, begin with a manageable goal of, say, walking 10 minutes a day that you know you can achieve. Then build your self-esteem by achieving the small goals you set yourself.
The same logic applies for losing weight.
* Stay off the scales
Don’t get discouraged when your progress seems to be slow according to your bathroom scales. They do not provide a true measure of what is going on with the body.
If exercise levels are adequate (5-7 days a week), you may be putting on muscle but losing fat, thus losing inches even if you are not losing pounds. It's always a good idea to do several body measurements to have a second objective way to monitor progress.
* Stay focused on being healthy, not thin
Many people become more successful at long term weight loss when their motive changes from wanting to be thinner to wanting to be healthier. Change your mindset to think about selecting foods that will help your body's health rather than worrying about foods that will affect your body's weight. The Food Pyramid offers a basic outline of the types and amounts of food you should eat each day to give your body the nutrients it needs for optimal health.
* Fat Free?
We've known for some time that limiting high fat foods in the diet can be helpful with weight loss. That's because fats pack in 9 calories per gram compared to only 4 calories per gram from proteins or carbohydrates. To many, the message to limit fats implied an endorsement to eat unlimited amounts of fat-free products. Just to clarify, fat-free foods have calories too. In some cases fat-free foods have as many calories as their fat laden counterparts. If you eat more calories than your body uses, you will gain weight. Eating less fat will help you to lose weight. Eating less fat and replacing it with excessive amounts of fat-free products will not.
* Drink plenty of water
Drink eight glasses a day. Water is a natural appetite-suppressant. Nettle tea is a great weight-loss tea as it supports metabolism and has diuretic properties.
* Reward yourself
Each time you reach a goal, such as losing 5 pounds, reward yourself with a gift or a massage.
* Seek help if you need it
A big key in long term weight control comes from receiving encouragement and support from others. Find a friend to lose weight with or you can check to see if groups such as Weight Watchers, or eDiets offer programs and resources in your area by clicking the links. You may also wish to check with your local hospital to see if their registered dietician conducts group weight loss programs.
* Watch your portions
With the advent of "supersize" meals and increasingly huge portions at restaurants, our concept of normal serving sizes is a distant memory. Be mindful of the amounts of food you consume at a sitting. When necessary, divide your food in half and ask for a take home bag. It is all too easy to be a "plate cleaner" even when served enormous portions. Learn to pay attention to your hunger level and stop eating when you feel comfortably full, not stuffed.
* Eat your food slowly
Did you ever notice that thin people take an awfully long time to eat their food? Eating slowly is one method that can help take off pounds. That's because from the time you begin eating it takes the brain 20 minutes to start signaling feelings of fullness. Fast eaters often eat beyond their true level of fullness before the 20 minute signal has had a chance to set in. The amount of calories consumed before you begin to feel full can vary significantly depending on how quickly you eat. So slow down, take smaller bites and enjoy your food.
